    fcuk man. From all I have read so far on ppl getting scammed online & packs getting snatched it all seems too much of a risk. Every site I come across that supposedly has anything is in the US or Europe, nothing where I am (Canada) so it would have to come through customs. I checked with two online sources today, one guy wanted me to post him the money first and wait to hear back?!?

    As if losing money is not bad enough, there is no way I can chance getting flagged as I am not a citizen here yet.... I thought about approaching one of the bigger guys at the gym but I would probably just get bitchslapped around the changing room and car park. In England it was easy as almost every gym I went to it was fairly open. Back then I was not interested (still a teen) and now I am ready I happen to live in fckin small town. You guys that have the domestic option are lucky, not sure why you would risk buying international.

    you should be ok, i mean imagine the millions of packets the us mail deals with every day, you probably have a greater likelyhood of getting it on with j-lo than u have of getting ur order siezed
